How to Beat FREDDY KRUEGER in "A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET"

[@louis8487]

"What murderer would wait for the cops?" It's actually a common thing that the first suspect the police go after is the person who found the body/only witness. The guy also had a bad reputation in the town and the town's police personally did not like him. He was screwed either way. Especially since it would be impossible to find the real killer so he'd be the only person who could've killed her.

[@kanjii6058]

yea that too but he probably wanted to kill the teens of the parents because revenge is sweet and if you want someone who owns a child who caused your death to feel some type of surreal pain that's the way to do it.

[@Babbleplay]

Many killers go immediately to the police and try to claim they were an innocent who stumbled onto the crime scene, with a concocted story to try and throw off suspicion.

[@ProtagonistVon]

I used to Lucid dream almost every night, I still do it often but not nearly as frequently. It got to the point I would know I was dreaming and just not participate if I was curious enough about the consequences of not starting the chain of events the dream was trying to set. I once made a cultist(long story, I get repeat dreams too and I really didn’t want to get sacrificed again that easily) come get me from the top of a tall clock tower. He was a bit miffed at me as an understatement. I miss that dream, it was such a pretty clock tower.

[@securatyyy]

The dad not believing her desite the overwhelming amount of crazy, unexplainable events is astounding. Freddy meat blenders a dude and dad is like nah. Daughter manifests a hat in her hand with the same name on it she has been going on about for days. Nahhhh.

[@Joe_334]

Because Marge and Donald were of the parents that burned his ass to death, when he was wrongly released. They had to know who Nancy was talking about, and they were in denial about it. It's even worse, for Maggie. I know she was in Freddy's Dead. However, I wonder how she grew up, and got away, after seeing her mother got killed right in front of her.

[@tacomn]

Denial is a defense mechanism. He is a man of the law, presumably has a moral compass and yet burned a man to death. Yes you could feel like this is some form of moral punishment, given what Freddy did, but burning a man to death probably is going to haunt you. This is shown in his lack of ability to even acknowledge that Freddy ever existed. He is "protecting" her sure, but also he unable to face what he himself did to freddy. He wants to deflect any notion of Freddy. Without this deflection he would have to acknowledge what he did. Also accept he not only killed a man for no reason but is the creator of a literal dream demon and the reason kids including his own is dying/died. That is a lot to digest lol :0.

This series is funny because I remembered joking as a kid about slasher villain's. I was like Jason and Leatherface are easy to beat, just don't go to Camp Crystal Lake or Texas lol but Freddy is the one, you can't win unless you can dream yourself as the hulk or something, he is definitely the hardest villain to take down

[@nickholcomb2220]

Going in and knowing what he is before hand helps out a lot, as he kind of helps you out by providing a necessary dream stage for him to interact with you in. Therefore if you see him, you know it’s a dream and game on. I’d personally imagine myself as Neo or something as soon as I recognized him. If you’re in universe though, it’s easier to chalk it up to a normal scary dream, so you may be fucked.

Stuff like the discussion about the metaphysics of Freddy’s dream existence is why this channel is so great. Nerd Explains always has a fresh, creative angle he looks at movies from that keeps him the best of all the “how to beat” channels that are springing up

[@Lornext]

This is one of the most difficult ones to survive from, you are not always that lucid while dreaming so you probably just get yourself killed even if you have a plan and the fortitude to follow it.

[@DwarfyDoodad]

I think Nerd Explains reasoning behind Freddy being unbeatable is valid. You need metaplot information to do it, going on what the characters know...he is unbeatable until the Freddy v Jason movie which is a all of his victims up to that point. And even then the plan isn't to beat him, it's to erase him from immediate knowledge and feed kids hynocil from a young age, so they can't even dream to be targeted. That isn't an actual plan because as Freddy v Jason points out the degree of separation isn't enough. It would have taken several generations *and* Jason not being a thing, for them to "Defeat" Freddy using the drug. The *best* case scenario for Hypnocil is the opposite approach. You are aware that this is a thing, and you need to take this drug. Sure Freddy is "alive" indefinitely, but he is powerless because no one is dreaming.

[@dragonballradiant2744]

Maybe but we find out later that you have the power to fight back against Freddy. If no one‘s afraid of him, and no one remembers him then he can’t fight back. Also you might have a defense, if you can discover what your dream power is

I understand that she's creeped out, but I sorta wish Nancy had shared with Rod and Glen what she'd figured out about the dreams. I'm pretty sure that Glen had already dreamt of Freddy. He gives a look of shock and recognition when Tina and Nancy are talking about it, but I thought that maybe he just didn't give it nearly enough weight. Rod's neck was broken- you could hear it happen. I also think that when Nancy says that it's all a dream, she means the whole film up to there. That all this bad stuff was just a dream all along.

The dreams are at least semi lucid; it is the dreamer's mind, after all. Just vanish the floor into a void; the fall will jar you out of sleep, and with no ground, there's no chance you'll hit bottom before waking.

The most vivid and disturbing dream I ever had was being pursued through a hospital by a doctor who was caught murdering the nurses. The hospital only had the two of us in it and it was very well lit, had little obstacles interfering with my running and 100% of the terror was coming from him directly, not the setting itself which oddly seemed to be working on my side. After I made it through a glass door with a square wire mesh through it we both immediately stopped. I was suddenly not myself anymore, I at no point realized this was a dream but I became aware I wasn't human. As if something had just possessed me and my thoughts were being replaced by whatever entity just took over. All I could think about was wanting to torment and murder him, not because he was a killer that was after me, but for no other reason was he was there and I could. Suddenly 4 human-like arms burst out from the floor and ceiling, grabbing each of his limbs and pulling him apart. This would 100% shock and terrify me but inside this particular dream all I could feel was intense malace and joy at his suffering. This one disturbed me for years and I can still remember it vividly. The thing that got me the most is how seamlesly it all played out, and how my thoughts still felt like they were halfway mine, like I had merged with this thing on every level.

[@erinw.9256]

One of the most terrifying dreams I had was a nightmare I had as a little kid. I remember I was watching a series of tv screens and there was an evil wizard turning cursing people. It was set up like an episode of Full House and had the same set but different people. One girl turned into a green yoga ball with a handle and bounced around her screen and another turned green and a tongue came out of her belly button. I think one dude was turned into a werewolf or grew hair all over, but I'm not sure if I'm remembering wrong or not lol I was probably three or four when I had this dream and I think I was being held captive by the wizard.

So, does having a nightmare with Freddy in it prevent you from giving yourself powers? Because the few times I had managed to get awareness, I could just do whatever I want.

[@ZeonEons]

You could do whatever you wanted, powers and all but freddy did state in one movie. "These are my nightmares, my rules" Or something to that effect.

[@Kalistofn]

@@ZeonEons The main way to beat that is to NOT BE AFRAID,he cannot control them if you’re not scared.

[@ZeonEons]

@@Kalistofn Yes, easier said than done. You really need to mean it. And he's very good at tricking teenagers.

[@ColArana]

Not entirely. It’s something that’s attempted in the third, fourth and fifth films. Unfortunately Freddy is much better at it than any ordinary human. The kid that gave himself super strength in the dream found Freddy was still much stronger than him. One kid gave himself magical powers and Freddy just shrugged it off. One kid gave himself an arsenal of weapons and once again they just bounced off of Freddy like nerf darts. That’s not to say it’s useless, it gives you a better chance of eluding Freddy until you can wake up but it’s a stall measure at best. The only one who actually was able to stand up to Freddy was Alice in the 4th movie and she had a very unique set of circumstances that let her do that (and besides which Freddy being immortal would still have let him beat Alice eventually).

[@avengeddecay2360]

@@ColArana just dream about you being either god or death because God is the most powerful human being to ever exist and death can literally erase him from ever existing to begin with I mean hell just dream that your either Ghost Rider or Doom Slayer I say this because they are literally the demon killers if Freddy is envisioned as a demon I’d just either glory kill him or use my penance stare on him or hell become Madara and use the infinite tsukuyomi on him because he’d be trapped in a genjustu for all eternity

As a lucid dreamer myself I can recommend doing reality checks in your daily life even if you are sure you're awake. Every time something strange happens. You will get so used to it that you'll do it in your dreams to. Also everyone has a different type of lucid dreaming so don't get discouraged if it doesn't work for weeks or months. I, as a hobby-author, for example started to 'rewrite' my dreams as I was having them. It's like watching a movie At the same time you're writing and changing it until you like it. So yeah. And everyone should try it, it's a freakin Trip every night.

I agree

[@awesomeflippergamer]

It's weird to me how much people have problems lucid dreaming since I was like 16 I have had pretty much only lucid dreams where I know it's a dream and I'm in control. Most of the time I let them play out for fun but if it annoys me or tries to scare me I take over. Completely changing a dream is hard, since it's hard to focus on that much. But slightly changing it isn't as hard

[@averagegamecritic]

I think it’s personal. Kids are very loved by parents, so it hits them harder. In addition to those reasons. Dream Masters, so iffy at that. Though it was later, so fair assumption dream fighting wouldn’t work. Also it’s fire. He was burned. So either resisting it or weakness to. Resistance to seems more likely as he survived (kinda) it.

[@drake1360]

I'd argue that fire would more likely end up as a weakness if anything. His powers are based on fear, and he now knows, in excruciating detail, what it feels like to be burned alive, and he will likely never forget that.

[@averagegamecritic]

@@drake1360 true. Assuming we aren’t in a horror movie, people don’t usually become immune to certain things. Resistant maybe in some cases

[@thomassquire4906]

It's revealed in one of the later movies that blessing his grave is in fact one of the methods to stop him. They do this in a junkyard where his body was left, and in the next movie he is brought back by a dog pissing on his grave, thus revoking its' blessed status, so your solution of getting a priest to bless his grave would actually work

[@John-uz3mb]

When I was younger and could dream often, I distinctly remember it feeling like it did feel scripted, yet every once in awhile when I could tell that I was in REM, (without training or even knowledge of lucid dreaming as I was like 15 and younger) I could change details in it like if I was walking slow and felt I really wanted to see where the dream was taking me, I'd speed myself up to a brisk jog and stuff similar to that. It felt like I was apart of a group of people taking turns in adding details to make a crazy story and everyone had to wait their turn. So that's why I could only make an impact every so often in my dream was because it was my turn in the group to add my bit of detail to the story lmao

Fun fact: this movie is loosely based on true story. If I remember correctly, it’s based off the weird account of several people dying in there sleep at a research center in the Arctic. As I said, this could be wrong in some places but it’s pretty interesting

[@EdithCardellini]

I remember reading that Wes Craven based it off of some child murders that were committed at the time. He didn't think involving children being murdered would be accepted, so he changed the victims to teenagers.

[@peterstoric6560]

@@EdithCardellini I just looked it up, apparently Wes craven got the idea from the story of a family that had a little boy convinced that something on his dream was try to kill him and tried to stay up as a result. Nobody believed him and just wanted him to get some rest. When the kid eventually did fall asleep, his parents thought that was the end of it. But he was suddenly screaming in the middle of the night and by the time his parents got to him he was dead. It’s supposedly this thing called Asian death syndrome (it was called that because it was most prevalent in areas of south east Asia). To put it simply, people would just scream and die when they were sleeping. So yeah, not to far off from the movie
